Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: WaterGuard and SuperSump resolve water problems in Cincinnati.

Challenge

A Cincinnati homeowner was experiencing water seeping into the basement in several places and also in at the seams between the walls and the floor.  The homeowner called The Basement Doctor to schedule an appointment with Steve, a certified inspector. 

Solution

Steve recommended that the WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System and a SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System is installed to resolve the problems that the homeowner was having in the basement. 

WaterGuard Basement Waterproofing System is a sub-floor piping system that is installed along the foundation walls.  The WaterGuard piping collects the water that is seeping in and drains it into a sump pump system to be pumped out of the basement.  This keeps the basement dry and makes the space usable for storage or extra living space without worries of water intrusion.

The SuperSump Premier Sump Pump System is a 1/3 hp pump that is used to pump water out of the basement.  The SuperSump includes the WaterWatch Alarm, SuperLiner and Airtight Lid with an Airtight Floor Drain.  The WaterWatch Alarm will sound if the water reaches the level that the pump should have started.  This will alert the homeowner of a problem with the system.  The SuperLiner houses the pump and has a Clean Pump Stand on the floor of the liner that lifts the pump out of the sediment that settles to the bottom of the liner.  The Airtight Lid keeps the water from evaporating back into the basement, keeps things from falling into the liner and helps to quiet the pump.  The Airtight Floor Drain on the lid will allow water from a plumbing leak to drain into the liner so that it can be pumped out of the basement.  

Now with the WaterGuard installed, the homeowner will have a dry basement that they can use for storage without worries of water intrusion no matter how much rain we have!
